Latest Developments
This edition of the Primary Care Bulletin, Looking Back, Looking Forward, is the last in the current series of bulletins and presents some of the work that has been undertaken over the last two years to improve the mental health and wellbeing of people in Scotland.
Healthy Reading Midlothian (2010)
Healthy Reading Midlothian is a ‘books on prescription’ scheme. It aims to improve the mental health and wellbeing of adults with mild to moderate mental health problems by providing access to recommended self-help resources through the local libraries and the Orchard Centre in Midlothian.
It also offers alternatives to the prescribing of medication for people with mild to moderate mental health problems, and aims to promote the use of libraries as a source of information about wellbeing. SDC undertook an evaluation of the Healthy Reading Midlothian scheme.
